"The first victory we can claim is that our hearts are free of hatred. Hence we say to those who persecute us and who try to dominate us: ‘You are my brother. I do not hate you, but you are not going to dominate me by fear. I do not wish to impose my truth, nor do I wish you to impose yours on me. We are going to seek the truth together’. THIS IS THE LIBERATION WHICH WE ARE PROCLAIMING."
Oswaldo José Payá Sardiñas (2002)

It is for this reason and to celebrate Oswaldo's nonviolent legacy that Notes From the Cuban Exile Quarter will now replace Oscar's nonviolent quote with Oswaldo's in order to honor his memory and demand that an international and transparent investigation take place to determine the truth of what happened.

After five years in cyberspace, Notes from the Cuban Exile Quarter is making this change in order to take into account the changing circumstances in Cuba and the continued need for a message of nonviolence while at the same time seeking justice.
